Bruise Right Behind Left Lower Leg Before The Crease Is Swollen And Hurts To Touch
Hello I have varicose veins and right behind my left lower leg before the crease is a bruise and they have become swollen and hurts to touch. They are not purple, I went to the emergency room yesterday and they did a blood test for clots, and the results came back negative, but they never took a look at my leg.

Hi,
I had understood your concern. Wear elastic stockings. Keep your leg elevated by putting pillow under your leg, do toe movements and ankle movements it will reduce swelling, do relative rest and avoid travel .
Hope you will find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
